    Our Care Philosophy



    "The most powerful sources of courage are personal…family, friends, being part of important events. Our main goal is to keep the family and patient informed and to maintain hope." – Forbes H. Norris, M.D.

    Dr. Forbes Norris, a neurologist who pioneered the comprehensive management of ALS left us a legacy of compassionate care, which he felt every ALS patient deserved. These principles of care should be the driving force to which all health care professionals should adhere.

    Dr. Norris believed that The "Ten Commandments" for Optimal Motor Neuro Disease Patient Care should be our guiding patient care principals.
